Where: John Paynter Gallery | Hunter St Newcastle 2300

Exhibition Dates: 7 – 23 August 2009
Opening night: Friday 7 August 6-8pm

Handwise II was again exhibited at the John Paynter Gallery in 2009. This time Wells became the curator and did not participate as an artist. A new selection of artists were invited to participate. They were Nerida Ackland, Kim Blunt, Bree Cunningham, Gillian Shaw and Joy Smith. While these artist were asked to stay faithful to the original concept, they evolved and extended it. Resulting in paper adorning the gallery wall, eerily formed heads made from muslin material, recycled platted ties and the highly technical traditional tapestry weaving.
